re: How does this Heer Transport Officers Schirmmütze Look?
Hi
looks good nice original government contract cap . As the seller says it is an other ranks cap that has been "upgraded" to officer. When this was done is impossible to say but if the price is officer cap price and not other ranks price I would wait for a real officers to come along.
It will always be an other ranks cap in value ! IMO
cheers

Thanks

I love your Cap! Its in great condition!
Have you ever seen any period photos of transport officers? I have been looking but usually only get trucks and tanks.

Hi Cody
The photos are tricky because unless they are captioned as a supply unit then how will we know in black and white ! Never seen an original colour shot of transport officers but here's hoping !
Good luck with deciding on your purchase.
cheers

Hi Cody
You can make anything fit, entirely up to you.
I was raising the issue of price a dealer may put on something that is "officer" rather than other ranks. I don't know the price of the cap so was just looking at the financials and giving you options. If its what you want and it fits then get it as the cap is 100%. very nice in fact.
cheers
Tony

Mr. Tony's counsel is always wise. To each his own, but the cap fits the tunic, somehow. Fahrtruppen caps are fairly scarce, and I do not think I have ever seen a Tellermuetze for Fahrtruppen with the black leather strap or the alu Kordel.

I echo FB on the above comment on shape and leather strap. Almost worth getting to convert back to other ranks, a hard cap to find as a government issue piece.
Cheers
Tony
